You know those movie tie in games from the early 2000s? You know, you were a kid, so you'd rent them, play them, think they're okay but never think about them again?

That's Wario World, except its somehow a first party Nintendo Game.


YAHOOOOOOOO HERE I GO YES YES MORE

Wario Land is a great franchise. This game isn't in that franchise. It's a console version of an established handheld series and beyond being a platformer there's not an awful lot this game has in common with the Wario Land series. You gotta look at it as it's own thing.

It's an alright action platformer. There's not a lot to say. It's short and fun to blast through but doesn't leave a huge impression.

Another classic in the line up of "non wrestling game having an amazing wrestling move" Resident Evil 4 has the SUPLEX, No More Heroes has the POWER BOMB and WarioWorld has a freaking PILEDRIVER!


Trivia Time!

The real reason we greenlit this game was that we just thought it was funny to have Treasure develop a game all about treasure

Stay tuned for more Trivia Time segments in the near future!

This game is the blowjob of videogames

This game feels like if they made a Mario Party 4 minigame a full game.

And I love Mario Party 4 so that's fine by me.

I had vague memories of play this game as a kid. I remember the circus level, pyramid level, and slopes level, and I remember having a really hard time with Red Brief J. I was pretty surprised to learn that I had almost beaten this game as a kid even though I only played it maybe once at my grandparents' house? Maybe it was more than once.

Anyhow, this game is pretty damn easy and not super interesting in either of its genres - 3D platformer and beat 'em up. The combat is super simple, enemies offer virtually no lethality the majority of the time, and frankly I just avoided them most of the time in the second half since they're just boring. The only way to die in this game is by getting hit enough times, falling into pits takes you to a zone where you have to break boxes to find an exit and any damage you take there will just take away money (money which you only use to buy health, yipee). The fun of this game is pretty much entirely in exploration and bosses. there are a whole bunch of collectibles in each level. Most of them are pretty easy to find, but there are challenge rooms that have you solve some kind of puzzle or complete a platforming challenge and they're the most fun part of the game. That said, they are also pretty easy most of the time. The very last level had some challenging ones (and one puzzle that I don't know how you're supposed to do, I just cheesed it a bit).

Every level has a unique boss, and each world ends in another unique boss - there's actually more bosses in this game than levels. Honestly, they don't take much to figure out how to beat, but I appreciate making each boss special, and there are some wicked designs here. A marionette cherub, a medusa with a blue stone-cold face, a bigass spider, etc. They're overall very interestingly designed, and most of them are fun to fight even if they aren't difficult. I'd say the final boss is actually the worst one since you just run around a circle and hit crystals for eight or so cycles and its attacks are predictable and easy, it was a disappointing end to the game. All in all, the designs in Wario World are cool.

This might be the best-animated 3D Wario to date, he's very expressive, and mixing that with his iconic voice lines makes this Wario actually decently stylized. The music is jamming, and the vibes are great. I definitely wouldn't call this a GameCube must-play, but it's still a good time, I don't think most people would regret playing it.

Wario World delivers a short, punchy platforming experience with a heavy emphasis on brawling. Wario's signature strength and wacky moveset make him a blast to control as he piles on coins and pummels foes. While the level design bursts with creative themes and hidden treasures, the overall experience feels rushed due to its short length and lack of real challenge. Despite its flaws, Wario World remains a fun, arcade-style romp for fans of unconventional platformers.

While I await for my copy of warioware: move it! to come, I decided to check out warioworld! I haven't played any of the warioland games as I'm writing this so technically speaking this is my first time experiencing a warioland type of game but in 3d! While pretty short, I had a lot of fun with it! Final boss was a little meh and some puzzles made me look up a guide but overall I recommend it!

Pretty cool game but not enough sauce to finish it

I remember playing this at like 4 or 5 years old, but that's abt it 💀
